Sunday at Salcey
posted by Monty at 18:51
Yesterday and the day before we spent at Slacey Forest doing a Meet and Greet to raise some money for Greyhound Gap, and to let people know what nice hounds we - that's greyhounds, not just The Beastly Beasts - really are.
On Sunday we arrived nice and early and mum and dad got everything set up, and waited and hoped - the weather had chosen this weekend to stop being nice and sunny.
Josie, one of our friends, turned up with her humans, and they decided to have a go at Dad's greyhound quiz; Troy gave them a helping hound - not sure if that really did help or not.
Doing the Quiz
A bit later a very handsome hound - who looked vaguely familar - turned up with three humans (how do they look after that many??). Turns out we had met before; on last months White Lodge Walk, and while we didn't get a chance to introduce ourselves then we did this time; so thanks to Sky for bringing his humans all the way from Leicestershire.
Then Aunty Claire turned up with Greg (we met Greg at White Lodge the other day - a very handsome black chap - but then again, all black beasts are handsome), along with Sol and his mum Alison, followed a bit later by Millie and Bess with their mum Chris.

Now, don't get me wrong, we all love Sol, but for some reason today he had words to say to nearly everyone - including Kai, his doppelGinga!! Still, must admit, he was good with the human puppies, and think even he saw the funny side when Kiera showed the humans how to sign "Bad dog!".

When we've been to Salcey on a sunny day, the lawn where we were has loads of humans on it. Today, probably because it was cloudy in the morning, there were not so many people. Shame really, as it turned out really nice in the afternoon. Still, we get to see some, and we collected some money for hounds less fortunate than ourselves, and I know Aunty Claire and dad told a few people about what happens to lots of hounds that either don't make it to racing or retire from it.
That said, we were hoping for better things on Monday ......
